The results of Project INTERACT have been referenced in a significant research paper published by the Publications Office of the European Union and co-authored by ISGAN and ETIP SNET. The paper, titled “Energy Communities’ Impact on Grids,” explores the role of energy communities in enhancing grid flexibility and integrating renewable energy resources.
The research investigates the potential of energy communities to increase grid flexibility and support the integration of distributed renewable energy sources. It highlights the challenges and opportunities for Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and Transmission System Operators (TSOs) in managing these energy communities. The paper emphasizes the importance of energy communities in unlocking consumer flexibility, promoting renewable energy, and ensuring equitable participation in the energy market.
